If so, you must always collect your bag, take it through customs and re-check when arriving in the USA. It’s not a BA or Alaskan policy, it’s a CBP requirement.

I get where you are coming from but Im not a novice traveling to the US (neither is my wife), first port of call is your entry to the US…..unless of course you go through CBP at an offshore location such as SNN or DUB.

So…Nope…. BUD-HNL (actually KOA) route …. (BUD-LHR (BA) , LHR-JFK (BA) (overnight @ JFK and transited CBP and customs here), JFK-LAX (AA), LAX-SEA (Alaska), SEA-KOA(Alaska) …. so, the bag was with us all the way to SEA….and wasnt even an interline bag … just Alaska-to-Alaska within the same terminal…..
